Safe on shore, sailors tell a dramatic story of survival
Some good news.
Three sailors, including a 9-year-old boy, survived a harrowing rescue at sea off Hawaii Wednesday after the container ship that came to the aid of their disabled sailboat accidently crashed into the vessel in rough seas.
"I'm going to die," that's what 9-year-old West James thought when the 900-foot container ship Horizon Reliance hit their 38-foot sailboat, sinking it and sending them into the ocean.
West James, his father Bradley, 32, and uncle Mitchell, 29, held a press conference early this morning after arriving at Honolulu Harbor on the container ship.
